Road transport companies · Social media

Use social media to show the lanes, the vehicles and the people behind the booking counter.

Social media marketing for a road transport company means using a few channels to show that you run the lanes you claim, with real vehicles, godowns and staff. GullySales works on what to post, which channel suits which buyer and how an enquiry on a post reaches the booking counter.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For road transport companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The buyer is checking you are real”

    A trader or factory manager looks at a page to see whether the vehicles, godown and office exist. A feed of generic lorry pictures proves nothing, while photographs of your own loading bay prove a good deal.

  • “Facebook and WhatsApp reach different people”

    A munim in a market reads WhatsApp status and groups far more than any other feed. A purchase manager in a plant is more likely to look at a LinkedIn page. Spreading the same post across all of them wastes effort.

  • “A drivers' story belongs on the page”

    Posts about a safe arrival, a night stop or a driver's long service tell a buyer the goods are in careful hands. They need the driver's agreement first, and no personal details.

  • “A post with no booking route is wasted”

    Someone who sees a vehicle loaded and wants to book needs a number or a message button within the post. Otherwise the interest goes to whichever office they remember.

What we do

What we deliver for road transport companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A short list of what to post

    Loading and unloading photographs, lane announcements, return-load availability and festive-season notices, each with a note on what to leave out.

    Result: The team knows what is worth posting and what is not.

  2. A channel plan by buyer

    WhatsApp status and groups for market traders, LinkedIn for factory buyers, and a Facebook page as a plain record of the business.

    Result: Each channel has one clear job.

  3. Photograph and consent rules

    A simple rule for photographing vehicles, godowns and staff, including asking before a driver or customer appears.

    Result: Nobody appears in a post without agreeing.

  4. A booking prompt on every post

    A WhatsApp link or number fixed to each post, with a standard first reply for the counter.

    Result: Every post leads to a number someone answers.

  5. A page record of enquiries from posts

    A note at the counter of which enquiries mentioned a post or a page.

    Result: You can see which posts, if any, brought a call.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Who it is for

This is written for these road transport companies.

  • Goods transport companies running fixed lanes between towns
  • Part-load and parcel transporters with booking offices in transport nagars
  • Full-load operators who book vehicles for traders and factories
  • Tempo and mini-truck operators for in-city and nearby-town runs
  • Transporters serving cloth, hardware and general wholesale markets
  • Transporters serving industrial estates and engineering clusters
  • Commission agents who book goods for several transporters
  • Transport companies with their own godown and door delivery at the destination

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the social media work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your audience and platforms

    We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.

  2. 2

    Audit current presence

    We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.

  3. 3

    Build the content calendar

    A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

  4. 4

    Implement and post

    Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

Your brief

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do we need to be on every platform?
No. Pick the two where your buyers already are, WhatsApp and one other. A page left unattended on a third platform looks neglected and does more harm than having none.
Should we put customer names and consignment details in posts?
Do not. Consignor names, goods and routes are private business. Post your own vehicles and offices, and ask a customer in writing before showing their name or premises.
Should we run paid promotion on social media?
Only for a clear purpose, such as a new lane or an agent drive in a named town. Check the platform's current rules for ads, and set a small test against a single enquiry route first.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
